Treasury’s DEI Opportunity: Partnering with Diverse-Owned Firms

NeuGroup’s Strategic Finance Lab Podcast-available on Apple and Spotify-will bring you an interview next week about the progress made by diverse-owned banks, brokers and asset managers. It features Sidney Dillard, partner and head of corporate investment banking at Loop Capital, and Sobani Warner, co-head of corporate finance at Siebert Williams Shank (SWS). The two firms are among the top Black-owned financial institutions in America.
This video clip from the interview includes Ms. Dillard discussing the opportunity corporate treasurers have to partner with diverse-owned firms and make significant contributions to how their companies promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
Ms. Warner notes that the podcast interview with NeuGroup’s Andy Podolsky comes during Black History Month and that the efforts of finance teams need to be seen in the larger context of strengthening all segments of American society. She looks forward, she says, to passing on what’s been achieved at diverse-owned firms like SWS and Loop to the next generation, adding, “it’s going to be fantastic.”
